OK. I have just finished Bakemonogatari for the first time and I enjoyed it. I can see that there are a ton of seasons, specials, and OVAs in this series. I don't necessarily feel like I want to watch all of them and I don't really want to have them as a "2nd monitor" show. Which of the many series from this world are the best and which ones should I watch?

monogatari 2nd season was probably my favourite out of the ones which I've watched.

Yeah follow this after you watch Bakemonogatari.
Although I don’t like pausing Second season in the middle just to insert Hanamonogatari.

I know this is author’s written story in the novel. But when I watched it, I think this is the only thing that is acceptable to break the order and finish Second season first

For me, finishing second season is like eating dinner without getting interrupted.

While Bakemonogatari consist of self-contained stories about the different girls, the rest of the series gradually connect everything together, and adds an overarching plot, so that's hard to recommend only a select ones. The only one that really would fit is the Kizumonogatari Movie trilogy, because of its status as a Prequel.

I would recommend to simply continue the series, and stop once you don't want to anymore. You can follow the order Liehan posted above (or take a look at this picture if you prefer a visual).

@Alexioos95 Thank you. You honestly said what I needed to hear which was if I don't want to watch something I shouldn't. I just finished Bakemonogatari and I'm watching Durarara!! right now and both are very long series and I don't necessarily want to watch all of them.

If you enjoyed it, watch it all, it’s just more of the same. If you don’t want to watch it all, just stop there. Trying the cherry pick from the other series will just be confusing!

Is there anything in between zokuowarimonigatari and the monster season or whatever?
